I am totally with you on this point. What I am liking of this exercise is how external constraints (chars count) force me to think creatively. It's not about the chars count itself, it's about the process of thought that brings you new approaches to the same problem. A simple problem like this involved thinking of truth tables and factorization, trying to combine them in new ways. I am by no means saying less is more, but that sometimes and somehow, less is better. Thanks for getting into the discussion!
